About This Album
So many female rappers as attractive as Trina are there because of two things: first, they know someone; second, they're gorgeous. While Trina is definitely sexy and is in good with Trick Daddy, it was evident from her first album that she was making music for another reason -- she's a formidable rapper. There hasn't been a ton of female rappers to emerge from the south, and Trina blends her southern style nicely with intelligible lyrics to give her some national appeal. She's like a new Roxanne Shanté or Lil' Kim, but from down south. Trina makes this album a worthy follow-up to her last LP by bringing some very talented help with her. Bathgate, Ludacris, Deuce Poppi, and Rick Ross from the Slip-N-Slide label, as well as Missy Elliott, all make guest appearances here (does a female rapper ever do an album without another female rapper on it?). Although this record differs a lot from her first, it's a step in the right direction and should provide her with fans from a much larger area. Trina is a dirty girl from the Dirty South, and she proves her hardness in the Eazy-E remake of "No More Questions." If you liked her first album, this is a different-sounding record but arguably better. ~ Brad Mills, All Music Guide
